I emailed them this morning. I reminded them of their fading Order and the rise of the Orders faithful to Christ and His Church. The JP2 generation desires orthodoxy! Alas, I do not expect a response….

So this is how Catholics express or show others their faith – attack one another. I will pray for you and for the Sisters, that both of you come to live the life of Jesus, the way the gospel teaches. I do not agree with what they had on their website and happy to see that they have taken it down, but I also don’t feel you Rich and your followers should act as judge and jury of their faith.

I have followed your blog for awhile, sometimes encouraged by what I read, then times like this I find myself sad that this blog has turned into a negative site and certainly not an example of what is Catholic or how most Catholic live their faith.

In all charity, should it be called “attacking one another” or should it be called exposing “darkness” and rebuking sinners as St. Paul says? Is he (St. Paul)being “judge and jury” in the following passages?

“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is a shame even to speak of the things that they do in secret; but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.” (Eph 5:11-13)

“As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of the elect angels I charge you to keep these rules without favor, doing nothing from partiality.” (1 Tim. 5:20)

The first Spiritual work of mercy is admonishing sinners. The second is instructing the uninformed. Rich has done both in this entry.

In fact it is called one of the many forms of penance in the Christian life (see CCC p. 360).

“Conversion is accomplished in daily life by gestures of reconciliation, concern for the poor, the exercise and defense of justice and right, by the admission of faults to one’s brethren, *fraternal correction*, revision of life, examination of conscience, spiritual direction, acceptance of suffering, endurance of persecution for the sake of righteousness. Taking up one’s cross each day and following Jesus is the surest way of penance.” (CCC 1435, stars added)

Catechist Kev said it well. This may be hard to hear, but the fact is that modern liberalism has severely damaged our moral senses. One commenter named Joe K. has same-sex attraction, but recognizes the wrongness of homosexual acts and is determined to live according to God’s law. He put it quite well when he identified the problem:

“…it comes from this weird perverted notion that you always have to protect the weak and “not judge” No Matter What. It’s derived, I think, from Christian notions of love, but it has to turned into this terrible monster known as modern liberalism. It’s actually become the case that defending the weak is more important than identifying the truth. This whole idea is rampant, and it’s pretty much suffocating to any real discussion on moral issues. “Don’t judge! What makes your life any better! You’re just filled with hate!” etc. etc. etc. Everyone has to be equal, no matter the stakes, no matter what. If you imply Anything to the contrary, you’re basically Hitler who wants to kill all gay people.

We must overcome these psychological barriers of dieting constipation.
They may not always eat perfectly, but many poor eating patterns disappear because they are converted
to vitamin A, plus numerous trace minerals, enzymes and coenzymes, plant-source fatty
acids, like salmon. It’s all about self-control when your dieting constipation and exercising you have to do. They make the need for weight loss and your health: Mrs.
